The Human-Tcipki war had been raging for the past 280 years with no end in sight. For humans it was a fight for
racial survival, while the Tcipki viewed humanity as little more then a taste snack. Juliet was human, one of the
Earth Alliance of World's best fighter pilots. Romgqkklrik was a Tcipki, a highly decorated raid ship commander
with over 30 planetary conquests.

Adrift in her disabled Banshee space fighter Juliet feared the worse when she'd first detected the approaching Tcipki
raider. But instead of simply destroying her damaged fighter, Romgqkklrik, the raider's commander, rescued her from a
slow, cold, death in space.

Everyone warned them that it would never work but Juliet and Romgqkklrik didn't care, for them it was love at first
sight. Caught up in the passion of their whirlwind romance Juliet happily accepted Romgqkklrik's proposal of marriage
and together traveled to the Tcipki to be married in a traditional Tcipki ceremony.

Of course, things might have turned out different if Juliet had done a little research into Tcipki customs before agreeing
to take part in a traditional Tcipki marriage ceremony. If she had she would have discovered that Tcipki females were
non-sentient and that a traditional Tcipki marriage ceremony involved the harvesting of the brides ovaries through ritual
disembowelment followed by the wedding dinner where groom and his family ate the bride. Sadly, Juliet didn't discover just
how wrong it had been to fall in love with Romgqkklrik, who she's ironically nicknamed Romeo since she couldn't pronounce
his real name, until it was far too late.
